DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...
A large area of high pressure will generally be positioned across SE Canada through much of the week, before shifting south/east directly over the Northeast CONUS over the weekend. Meanwhile, a Nor'easter positioned off the N. Carolina coast will slowly meander E/NE over the next few days with no immediate impacts to eastern New York and western New England. The pressure gradient is expected to tighten on Tue, so northerly winds will increase with gusts of 20-25 mph developing. Otherwise winds should remain relatively light, with plenty of clear skies upcoming. High temperatures will be near normal, with lows averaging slightly below normal most nights with a dry air mass in place. There will also likely be patchy fog in favored sheltered valley and near bodies of water some nights, especially during periods when winds will be lighter.
AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
Through 00z Wednesday...Flying conditions are VFR at all terminals as of 7:00 PM EDT. For POU/PSF, VFR conditions with mainly clear skies expected through the entire TAF period. For GFL, some patchy radiation fog/mist may develop later this evening, but light N/NE winds the second half of the night may help dissipate fog prior to sunrise. If fog develops, IFR or lower vsbys/cigs possible. For ALB, light N/NE wind developing late tonight could advect any fog that forms over the Mohawk River towards the airport. Low confidence if this will happen, so will keep VFR conditions in the TAF. Outside of any brief fog/mist overnight, ALB/GFL also see prevailing VFR conditions and mainly clear skies.
Winds start off the night light and variable, but increase to 3-6 kt from the N/NE the second half of the night. By mid-morning, N/NE winds increase to closer to 10 kt with gusts to 15-20 kt (locally stronger at ALB/GFL) through late afternoon/early evening. Gusts diminish around sunset, but 5-10 kt N/NW winds persist through the end of the TAF period.
